Sgt. Joseph Eric Goddard. not known Royal Air Force, 101 Squadron. (d.28th Jul 1943) Eric Goddard was the only son of Tom and Mary Ann Goddard of Grassmoor, Derbyshire. Thought to have gone to a grammar school. His mother died of a broken heart shortly after she lost her only son. He was a navigator of Lancaster Bomber, died on July 28th 1943 age 27 years old. We are assuming he died in the Hamburg bombing navigating a Lancaster plane. Joseph Eric Goddard is buried in Hamburg War Cemetary. Any more info greatly appreciated. Sharon

W/O Wilfred Salthouse.. RAF, 12Sqd.. (d.28th July 1943) The Lancaster III EE142 PH-G piloted by my mothers cousin, W/O Wilfrid Salthouse was shot down over Hamburg on "that night" 28th July 1943, Lancaster. Miraculously, I believe the rear gunner J.P. Bartlett survived and was made POW in Mahlberg Elbe [see Jim Forbes 12 Squadron website.] We have not a single document, photo etc of any of the crew and so I hoped to find out about the raid and perhaps some docs from the family of Sgt Bartlett whom I assume bailed out. Hope you can helpP.W.King
